Spouted beds are commonly thought of as being solely of use for processes involving coarse particles (of the order of 1 mm and above). The latest advances on conical spouted beds are discussed in this review. This contact method is especially useful for applications where a vigorous movement of the solid is required, for example, in the handling of solids that are sticky, of irregular texture, or with a large particle size distribution.
